Welcome to Rochester Avionic Archives - a large collection of avionic hardware items together with an archive of films, documents, videos, brochures and newspapers.
The oldest item is a Slide Rule from 1894 but the majority of the items are of mid to late 20th century origin. The emphasis is on equipment made or relevant to the Rochester site and the work of Elliott Bros, Marconi and BAE Systems| although there are some items which have gained a place purely because of their interest value.
